About Little Bay

Little Bay is a calm Utila training bay with a sandy bottom and gentle water that make it a practical place to build skills. It is the kind of site where course teams can work on buoyancy, trim, and comfort without dealing with a demanding route or heavy reef structure. That makes it especially useful when you want a simple, confidence-building dive rather than a feature-packed reef run.
